The trick to using baking soda as an abrasive cleanser is to wipe it off with rags, then spray the surface down with water and wipe with rags again.Soak them in hot water, dish soap and baking soda. After they've sat, wipe down the racks with a sponge or towel. If you have a gas stovetop, removing the grates is going to be the first step. Then take a damp dish cloth and dish soap to wipe the grates down. Make sure they are completely dry before you replace them.If you have an electric glass stovetop, make sure the surface is cool and spray the top down with vinegar and then baking soda, according to USA Today.
Run a load without any clothes or detergent, just a hot cycle with liquid chlorine bleach, according to Good Housekeeping. Also, if you have a newer washing machine, look for a"cleaning cycle" button as some of the newer models have that option.
